For fans of the franchise, Atelier Totori is a complete success. It improves upon Atelier Rorona in almost every conceivable way and delivers all of the gameplay, art style, characterizations and special brand of cuteness that the series’ fans have come to expect. The item synthesis, for which the Atelier name is known, is as good here as it has ever been, and plenty of the series’ staple characters return, making long time players feel right at home
